Is there a way to eliminate the extra single line break when converting to lowercase, uppercase, and title case (doesn't happen with capitalize) and the extra two line breaks per bullet when using "clear bullets"?

Thank you. Both options worked  I renamed the directory from 2.0.0 to 2.3.0 as @deanishe mentioned. Also experimenting with the two workflow @nikivi suggested.

Any way to get this workflow working again on High Sierra? I read elsewhere it's an issue with Ruby bundles 1.8/2.0 in the workflow and High Sierra running v 2.3, but these words mean little to me.

The filtering on file type is OK (for both branches, with and without tag filtering) but the tag filtering does nothing: when filtering on the content (3rd input) I get files without the selected tag as well.

 

Same. My results are not filtered by the tag specified. I tried manually adding a static tag in the file filter (kMDItemUserTags) and it also did not work. I suspect it has something to do with "and/or", but it's over my head.

You need to do a bit of UI scripting with Finder to achieve that.

 

Here's an example workflow that does what you ask.

I'm looking to do just this exactly and came across this thread, but the link is dead. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Thank you. For anyone else who stumbles upon this thread, given the limitation of iCloud's funky naming convention, I think using the file extension is the way to go since *most* iCloud subfolders are exclusive to a single file type. 

Ok after looking at this crazy path I can see it's complicated: /Users/xxxxx/Library/Mobile Documents/W6L39UYL6Z~com~mindnode~MindNode/Documents/ (the folder name displayed in Finder under the iCloud folder is simply: Mindnode)

All of the iCloud subfolders have similarly convoluted names, and they do not appear in spotlight results

On Sierra with Alfred 3.2.1, is it possible to include iCloud subfolders in search results? Files within the iCloud folder do show up, but the subfolders within iCloud folder do not. "~Library/Mobile Documents/" is included in Search Scope.

For example, if I search for example.pages Alfred finds it in iCloud/ExampleFolder/example.pages, but if I search for Example Folder I get nothing.

Thanks

I apologize. I was working on giving you more details and noticed something else funky with Alfred (selecting a folder in the Alfred window wouldn't open it - nothing happened) so I restarted my machine and now both issues are resolved. The workflow is working great! Thanks.

Hi,

I installed the 4.0 beta 1 for Alfred 3 and when I invoke both by keyword and file action, I get "Processing…Please Wait" for a few seconds and then reverts to default search options.

Thanks, Vero! I love how responsive you are with support questions

That works great, and yes, it doesn't matter about BusyCal vs. Calendar.app.

Is there any way to pull the date/time info or limit the scope to future events? It doesn't look like there is metadata for either of those.

Oh, sorry if that example was unclear. I'm not looking for natural language, just based on title (e.g. "Dentist Appointment") A search for that phrase would list all events with matching titles and their date.

I use BusyCal, but it's using the same iCloud calendars as the Calendar.app.

thanks for the help!

I would like to query calendar events by name and get resulting matches with date listed in the Alfred window. Actions would be great ,but mainly I just want to be able to quickly check the date for an existing event: "What day is my dentist appointment again?"

1. Could you please temporarily un-sync your preferences (e.g. by setting the folder to ~/Documents/Alfred/) then see whether your preferences save correctly?

 

This solved it locally.

 

 

2. If your preferences do save correctly at that stage, please create a new, different sync location on Dropbox and try again. 

Still worked after change to new location on Dropbox.

 

 

3. If that also works fine, you'll just need to make sure that, if you're syncing two Macs, you go to the second Mac, wait until Dropbox has finished updating (including downloading the newly set preferences) and select this location in Alfred's preferences, so that both Macs look at the same prefs.

I will make sure it's working when I get to the other computer and report back if there's any problem.

Thanks for the speedy reply! 

Hi,

Theme selections, modifications, and appearance options (such as "Hide menu bar options") are lost when quitting and restarting Alfred. I just noticed this yesterday after I updated to latest version of El Capitan, but not sure if that is coincidental. My sync folder is in Dropbox (not in the default apps folder) and tried repairing permissions as suggested here.

Any of other suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for replying. Yes, the files are within the search scope.

This works to filter name OR context for either/both words, but it yields too many results for me. In my example, every document whose contents or name "2015" and every document whose contents or name contain  "milk" will show. I'm hoping to filter the name on one value and the contents on the other. I was able to do it by specifying the value of kMDItemDisplayName in the filter itself, but I'd like to do it on the fly.

Thanks,

Evan

I would like to be able to first search/filter by file name, and then search within the contents of the resulting files.

For example, "2015 receipt" returns my 2015 receipts (filenames with the words "2015" and "receipt"), then "milk" returns those files from the previous results that contain the word "milk" within their contents.

I thought I could get there with a File Filter --> Open File, using kMDItemDisplayName and kMDItemTextContent, but no luck yet.

Am I close, or would this call for some scripting?

Thanks!

Luxinate worked fine for me, but after installing 10.10.3 or the last alfred update, luxinate say "no internet connection", but the internet connection is fine! I have update the youtube-dl!

Same for me.

That brings up the action panel, but how do I add the selected file to the buffer?

I can select multiple files from Finder and Action them directly, but Is there a way to add files from Finder to the buffer instead? This would be handy to Action multiple files from separate folders without using a mouse.

Thanks
